Directory Explorer Overview
The Directory Explorer provides an interactive, visual breakdown of file size, age, and activity across your directory structure. It helps you quickly understand where storage is being used, highlight stale or inactive data, and prioritize cleanup or archiving—all within a single, drillable view.
